Closed 94 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Fovenment to introduce a mandatory 5 year jail term for all offences of Misconduct in Public Office committed by serving police officers.
The public relies on the police service to provide a safe society for everyone. Acts of misconduct by serving police officers undermine the very fabric of our society and undermine public trust in the police service.
